Make Art Not Waste Workshop: Jewellery From Commercial Waste

04 Feb 2026
Workshop Stage

Get hands-on and create original jewellery using materials from TP Bennet’s in-house materials library. The architecture and design practice, known for combining creative design with sustainable solutions, will provide materials that cannot be returned due to damage or discontinuation. In this workshop, these items will be transformed through creativity into one-off pendants, earrings, or keyrings.

The workshop requires no special skills. Participants will work with materials such as leather, fabric and wallcoverings using simple tools like scissors and pliers. The session is designed to be fun while encouraging a “think before you bin” mindset, inspiring a fresh perspective on materials that might otherwise be discarded.
